Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep - Chapter 272
c266 Why are you sweating so much?
August 303AC.
At this time, the remaining major families in Westeros have sworn allegiance to Jack Poseidon, but Westeros has not completely calmed down.
The reforms in the North, the Iron Islands, and the Riverlands have been seen by the other families. For them, the real “war” has just begun.
They must find a way to keep their power under the pressure of the dragons and sea monsters, even if this can be negligible, and even bloodshed and extermination are not a pity.
After Jack occupied King’s Landing, he asked them to go back to handle government affairs, and then go to the North Territory Thrall within a month to discuss the fight against the White Walkers.
According to Jack’s order, all nobles above the earl must be present, and those who do not come will be treated as treason.
So, in early August, thousands of earls in Westeros gathered in Thrall.
After seeing the walls of Thrall for the first time, their faces were very ugly.
A considerable part of the buildings in Silor were built with cement. When they learned about the function of cement, they were shocked and terrified.
They never thought that Jack Poseidon had such technology.
However, as they learned more and more about the North, their mood fell to the bottom. The average yield of wheat per mu in the North was 200 kilograms, which was simply jaw-dropping.
You know, even in the most fertile river bay, the average yield per mu is only more than 100 kilograms.
In addition to these things, there are coal stoves, coal balls, and other novelties that they have never heard of.
Especially the coal ball stove, if there is this thing, even without a fireplace and enough charcoal, it can withstand the cold in winter, and the price is very cheap.
But before they had time to find out the current situation in the North, they were called to the conference room by Jack to discuss ways to deal with the White Walkers.
The conference room can only accommodate 150 people, and in the end only the top group of dignitaries from all over the country entered the conference room.
As for the remaining nobles, although they are all earls, their family strength is not strong.
So for them, waiting outside was nothing.
After all, if it weren’t for the title of earl, they wouldn’t even be qualified to come to Slore to attend the meeting.
After everyone found a seat and sat down, Olenna turned to Prince Doran and said:
“I thought you wouldn’t come. That’s right, your good brother probably needs his mistress to chew up his meals and feed them to him now.”
Prince Doran smiled and said to Olenna: “Oberon has taken a boat to the Sea King Island, and the sea god will heal him.”
“Although the power of the giant beast is similar to that of a god, it is just an extraordinary creature similar to a dragon. If he can heal Oberon, I will let Loras marry Ya. “Lian’en.”
“Hehe, you have a good plan, but I plan to let Arianne marry Jack Poseidon.”
Olenna opened her eyes slightly, looking a little unbelievable, “You are inviting a wolf into the house, do you know? And didn’t you reject Jack Poseidon before?”
“That was before, I have discussed with Arianne, dragons are the key to the family game in the future, and how did you know about this?”
Olenna nodded angrily, how did she know, is there any need to ask?
The Reach and Dorne have always been at odds, and there are also sand snakes in Highgarden, she is not unaware of it, but this kind of thing cannot be eliminated, so she can only be strictly guarded against.
And she is also going to marry Margaery to Jack Poseidon, and the purpose is also very clear, that is, the dragon in Jack’s hand!
When Jack gave the dragon egg to Asha Greyjoy, people still doubted whether Jack was really willing to share the dragon in his hand.
It was not until Poseidon appeared that they realized that Jack Poseidon really didn’t care whether the dragons were spread out, because he had more terrifying beasts.
But Jack Poseidon didn’t care about the dragons, but they couldn’t care.
For example, in the Greyjoy family now, even if Asha’s child was named Poseidon, it would not affect the half of the Greyjoy blood in the child.
To a certain extent, after this child became a dragon rider, it was equivalent to the Greyjoy family also having one more dragon rider.
After all, if the Greyjoy family encountered anything, Asha would definitely not sit idly by.
To take an intuitive example, the River Reach and Dorne had many conflicts. If one of Margaery or Arianne married Jack Poseidon, after they became pregnant and gave birth to a child, Jack gave a dragon egg, and the child became a dragon rider.
Not to mention more, it only takes twenty years, and the side without dragons will be suppressed and unable to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
What’s more, dragons can breed. The other side has more and more dragons, but we don’t have any dragons. What’s the point? Just surrender in 15 years!
So now Olenna Redwyne and Doran Martell are both coveting dragons. The best result in their minds is to keep their power and get dragons.
If it doesn’t work, give up the existing power and get the dragons first.
In addition to Olenna representing the Tyrell family and Doran Martell, Jaime Lannister also came.
And Tommen Baratheon, in addition to being the King of the Seven Kingdoms, he was also the Duke of Stormlands. Although everything was decided by Jaime, he still had to be there in person.
In addition to Tommen, there was another child who came. He was Robert Arryn, the son of Jon Arryn and the legal duke of the Vale.
After Poseidon cured his epilepsy and congenital NT, he is now no different from ordinary people, and even smarter than his peers.
The age difference between the two is not much. Tommen seemed a little nervous because of his previous identity, so he could only try to talk to Robert Arryn to ease the embarrassment.
Robert was very happy to see someone actively talking to him, and the two of them started chatting smoothly.
Jaime breathed a sigh of relief, and Yohn Royce in the back was also relieved.
Although Robert Arryn had recovered with the help of the sea god, he was still worried that little Robert would have a seizure at a critical moment.
But now it seems to have made him feel a lot more relieved.
Of course, the most eye-catching of the people in the front are the two barons of the North – Sansa Stark and Lyanna Mormont.
Although the North is still a whole on the surface, it has been divided into two by two major factions in private.
They are the Northern faction close to the Mormont family, and the Southern faction close to the Stark family.
Sansa’s position should have belonged to Rickon Stark.
Although Rickon Stark was found, he was on his way back to the North at this time, and there was still half a month’s journey. Jack would definitely not wait for him.
Therefore, Sansa Stark, the eldest daughter of the Stark family, could only temporarily replace him, but now everyone knows that Sansa Stark has climbed into Jack Poseidon’s bed.
But Jack has promised to make Lyanna’s child the Prince of the North, so everyone is looking forward to seeing the intrigues of the two women.
It’s just that Sansa and Lyanna didn’t do as everyone expected, which made everyone a little disappointed. They thought they could eat a big melon.
Although Sansa was uncomfortable with Lyanna becoming the Duke of the North, Jack had promised that her child would become the Prince of the Riverlands, so she couldn’t say anything.
And the few days that Sansa was with Jack made her very clear that Westeros would sooner or later become like the North.
At that time, the title will no longer be hereditary, nor will it represent power. The prince and the councillors under the prince will hold power. They are the new powerful class.
During the days in King’s Landing and the Vale, her desire for power reached its peak, and she also learned a lot from several Game of Thrones players.
So after learning that her son could become the prince of the Riverlands, Sansa would lock the garden gate every time her garden was irrigated.
A mother is honored by her son, and Cersei Lannister is a good role model to learn from!
Jack also knew Sansa’s thoughts, but he didn’t care. Instead, he wanted to see the open and secret struggles between the major forces in Westeros and the internal undercurrents.
Although he conquered Westeros, Jack never forgot where his roots were!
However, the Iron Islands did not send anyone to attend this meeting because Asha was already eight months pregnant, and it was really inconvenient for Asha, who was about to give birth, to attend such occasions.
The conference room, which was originally full of whispers, soon became quiet because Jack came.
Looking at this young man holding two killing weapons, the nobles present did not dare to breathe.
The only thing that comforted them was that Jack Poseidon was still normal, otherwise if he had a personality like Joffrey, they would have suffered a lot.
However, they would rather face the stupid and crazy Joffrey, because Jack was neither stupid nor crazy, and even had strong political talents.
But because of this, Jack, who had two killer weapons, became a sword hanging over everyone’s head.
Jack sat in his seat. Since he entered the scene, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became solemn, dull and sluggish.
Jack’s eyes swept over the nobles. Except for a few major dukes, no one dared to look directly into Jack’s eyes.
Jack retracted his eyes with satisfaction, used the power of faith to amplify his voice, and said loudly:
“It shouldn’t be hot in the North, why do I see you all sweating profusely?”
The current time is 303, August
In chapter 258, I got the timeline wrong and wrote it as 304, sorry sorry.
